OK so inspired by @lxeagle17's recent demographic regressions, here's the @bot_2024 model run using 2020 demographics and partisanship by demographic, but using midterm turnout numbers
As you can see, 2018 turnout is very favorable for democrats, while 2014 turnout is about neutral to 2020. Strangely enough, 2010 turnout does well for democrats, presumably because of suburban/exurban surge vs wwc
Looking at presidential years, we can see that our model believes 2012 and 2016 actually had more favorable turnout profiles than 2020 when considering 2020 partisanship, by about 1 point in both cases
I feel like I do this every time I 2x in followers lol, and I haven't been cancelled yet

2. The only reasonable medium term solution to the housing crisis is to legalize housing construction
